I'm mentioning Apart from the fact that you need new fonts and new syscons/xmodmap entries, why does Linux need a patch ? (I'm not connected right now so I can't go to the site). Anyway, we already have a ISO-8859-15 (aka Latin9) font for syscons in the tree. -------- roberto 1998/11/05 07:35:39 PST Modified files: share/syscons/fonts INDEX.fonts Added files: share/syscons/fonts iso15-thin-8x16.fnt Log: New ISO-8859-15 thin font. It includes some missing characters from 8859-1 (like OE & oe diphthong) and the Euro character. It also includes the VTxx semi-graphic characters. -------- I plan to upgrade the fr.iso syscons keyboard map to put the Euro code on AltGr-E (unless there is any objection ?). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Nov 8 01:22:20 CET 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
